The Crown Range road, the "quick way" between Queenstown and Wanaka, used to be narrow, gravel and only for the intrepid traveller. I can remember a radiator hose on my Mini chose this road on which to split/leak/perish, which was highly inconvenient. Anyway, today it is sealed and considerably wider, but it does have several tight hairpin bends. At the highest point there is a lookout, and this is also the starting point of several walks. We chose the shortest, Rock Peak, and didn't see anyone else on our walk, which was 2 hours return or thereabouts.

| That's an Air New Zealand plane on it's approach to Queenstown airport. It was a fairly thick blanket of cloud it had to pass through, but clear underneath. The cloud all disapated while we were on our walk. |

Rock Peak. Another instance of feeling "on top of the world" and a great spot for morning tea.
